Publisher*’s Choice* Awards TONE A 5 NO.25 2 0 0 9 2009 Though some of you might still be digesting We’ve rustled up quite a few fun things for our last issue, we made the decision to add the Holiday Gift Guide as well. If you need the Holiday Gift Guide and annual awards as a hint for your favorite music/audio lover, its own issue this year, giving you a “bonus” I hope we can help out with your holiday issue of TONEAudio to read. Next year shopping needs. When all else fails and in 2010 (I’m still finding that weird to say you’re thinking “but I never know what to out loud), we will expand to an eight-issue buy him,” call our friends at Music Direct and schedule, bringing you even more music, purchase a big gift certificate. Sometimes, gear and related fun things to read about. the best presents are the ones you pick out yourself. While there are many conspiracy theories regarding how and why our awards are Happy holidays, and we’ll see you again given out, our methodology is actually pretty in late December. simple. I don’t subject anyone on the staff to reviewing gear in which they aren’t enthused, so most of the gear you read about in our pages is award-worthy to begin with. We’re trying to help you put together a great HiFi system, not argue about whether the red Power Ranger is better than the blue one. Pontificating about whether this amplifier or that speaker is rubbish is just a waste of everyone’s time. However, we don’t want to appear like a kids’ soccer team that gives a trophy to every player, either. After five years, our awards have expanded a bit, but some of that is due to our reviewing more gear than we did just two years ago. So to break it down, our Exceptional Value Awards are just that. While I still feel that there are no short cuts to making great HiFi components, there are some items that do play above what the competition offers at particular price points. The Product of the Year awards go to the products that we felt offered the best combination of performance, build quality and aesthetics in their particular category. The Publisher’s Choice award is completely self-indulgent on my part; these are the products that I unilaterally think are super cool and invoke a strong emotional response.

You can check out her latest book Cartoon Marriage: Adventures in Love and Matrimony in our Holiday Gift Guide or online at www.lizadonnelly.com TONE A 7 NO.25 2 0 0 9 FEATURE The Loiminchay Kandinsky The Essence of Musicality By Jeff Dorgay TONE A 8 NO.25 2 0 0 9 FEATURE All Loiminchay speakers share a cabinet design made of laminated wood, layered up into a large billet with their centers machined out that create the space for the drivers and crossover networks. When this task is complete and the final shape is sanded into place, 16 coats of lacquer are applied, with sanding between them to achieve the deep luster of the final speaker system. Examining Patrick Chu’s (the founder of ALoiminchay) pen collection, it becomes easier to see the level of craftsmanship and high art he achieves. This is why his speakers cost slightly upwards of 60 thousand dollars a pair. Yes, there are competent speakers for less money, but if you desire something truly special, a visual as well as an aural work of fine art, then read on. The Kandinsky is fantastic on many levels. Much like an Eames Lounge Chair or a Porsche 911, this is a work of art of which you will never tire, yet performs its function better than most of its contemporaries. Designed here in America, but built in Chu’s factory in China, the Loiminchay speakers put to rest the notion that high quality cannot come from such an arrangement. When you walk around the speakers and run your hand across the cabinets, the quality is instantly apparent, exceeding that of the others in this price range. This level of uniqueness and craftsmanship is why collectors around the world routinely pay six figures for Chu’s handmade fountain pens. Fortunately for Loiminchay’s competitors, only six pairs of Kandinskys are made per year. TONE A 9 NO.25 2 0 0 9 FEATURE I was highly impressed with the Loiminchay Chagalls that we reviewed last year. They were transparent, dynamic and tonally truthful, while highly revealing of minute musical detail. The Kan- dinsky speakers go a few steps further in all directions. As I have said many times in the pages of this magazine, I love a speaker with an expansive sound, and if combined with a tonally correct midrange, I’ll forgo most other parameters in the pursuit of these two. With the Kandinsky, you can have it all. This review deviates a bit from our standard reviewing protocol, where the manufacturer sends us the gear; we set it up in our room, etc, etc. Because of the weight and delicacy of the Kan- dinsky, I did not want to take a chance of having Chu’s master- pieces tarnished in any way by shipping them from New York to the state of Washington. As only six pair of Kandinskys are built per year, I didn’t want to have a pair reduced to B-stock on my watch. Chu’s reference system con- sists of gear of which I am inti- mately familiar: the Nagra PL-P preamplifier, their vacuum tube VPA, the Nagra CD player and a Linn LP-12 with Koetsu Ure- shi cartridge. Not only are they familiar players but personal fa- vorites. As fortune would have it, our travel schedules aligned per- fectly with the CEDIA show and I would only be two hours away in Atlanta when Chu had time, so I could spend two solid days lis- tening to the Kandinskys without succumbing to flight fatigue. (continued) TONE A 10 NO.25 2 0 0 9 ClassicAnzeige_USA Freitag, 2. November 2007 8:50:29 Uhr FEATURE Setup Chu’s room is slightly larger than mine, about 18 x 30 feet, with hardwood floors coun- teracted by plenty of acoustic treatment on the ceiling. He also had bits of acoustic treat- ment strategically placed around the room with care. Walking around the room and doing the informal but effective “hand clap” test of room acoustics revealed it to be just slightly live, with a natural decay that I found very pleasing and similar to my own room, reinforcing the deci- sion to come here for the listening sessions. The speakers were about 11 feet apart, slightly toed in, and about five feet from the rear wall, with the listening spot about 18 feet back. Van DenHul cable was used through- out, and the components were all plugged directly into the wall. Chu had the system fully warmed up by the time I started listening, and the speakers had more than enough hours for them to be considered “broken in.” The Kandinskys have a sensitivity of about 95 db overall, so the 50 watts per channel that the Nagra amplifiers provided was more than enough to achieve realistic volume levels and the dynamic range to play quite loudly. (continued) TONE A 11 NO.25 2 0 0 9 FEATURE An Unlikely Horn My first encounter with the Kandinsky was a paradox. Ignoring the cabinetry, these speakers are a simple (on one level) two-way system, with a horn-loaded tweeter and 12-inch woofer. So my first impression when I sat in the listening chair in Chu’s room at CES was that “these speakers could not possibly work…” Fifteen seconds into the demonstration, I was not only proven wrong but spellbound by the naturalness of the sound and the ease of the presentation.

Perceptual Audio Classification Using Principal Component Analysis Zak Burka A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Computer Science Department of Computer Science Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences Rochester Institute of Technology Approved May 6, 2010 Abstract The development of robust algorithms for the recognition and classifi- cation of sensory data is one of the central topics in the area of intelligent systems and computational vision research. In order to build better intelli- gent systems capable of processing environmental data accurately, current research is focusing on algorithms which try to model the types of process- ing that occur naturally in the human brain. In the domain of computer vision, these approaches to classification are being applied to areas such as facial recognition, object detection, motion tracking, and others. This project investigates the extension of these types of perceptual clas- sification techniques to the realm of acoustic data. As part of this effort, an algorithm for audio fingerprinting using principal component analysis for feature extraction and classification was developed and tested.

Food defines who we are and where we are from. Music is an essential part of human experience. Archaeology is very important to complement or fill gaps in the written record. Culture is the sharing of creative knowledge, skills and talents. It is volunteering, donating and working selflessly to build strong communities. Culture is bold. It is creativity and imagination.
